boss stories happy-endings
I would figure out, later, how to explain to my boss that, for me, Delia will never be a story, but a happy ending.
matter tangible elise
Unlike Elise, who could discover parts of a person they didn't even know were absent, you specialized in tangible, but that, I feared, was only a matter of time.
believe want-something way
If you want something to be true badly enough, you can rewrite it that way, in your head. You can even start to believe it.
way ifs
The only way someone can leave you is if you let them.
voice missing bass
If his voice hasn't been the melody of my life, it's been the bass line, so subtle you don't notice it until it's missing.
strong needs need-you
You make yourself strong because it's expected of you. You become confident because someone beside you is unsure. You turn into the person others need you to be.
who-i-am surprise surprise-me
Who I am, and what I am capable of doing has always managed to surprise me.
thinking fool impossible
You can fool yourself, you know. You'd think it's impossible, but it turns out it's the easiest thing of all.
risk looks different
Risk always looks different when you're beating the system than when you've been beaten.
lying faces sometimes
Sometimes, when you don't ask questions, it's not because you are afraid that someone will lie to your face. It's because you're afraid they'll tell you the truth.
imagine mask smooth
I understand better than she'd imagine that history is indelible. You can mask it; you can patch it smooth and clear; but you always know what's hidden underneath.
loving-life people choices
I could tell her from personal experience that when people we love make choices we don't always understand them. But we can go on loving them, just the same. It isn't a matter of comprehension. It's forgiveness. But all this took me a lifetime to discover, and where has it gotten me?... Some lessons can't be taught, they simply have to be learned.
believe mean thinking
I have no idea what Andrew might have done, and I do not ask. She believes that I can fix this, and like always, that's enough to make me think that I can. "I'll take care of it,: I say, when what I really mean is: I'll take care of you.
firsts way enough
I knew her well enough to understand that when Delia pushed you away, it was her way of making sure she didn't get shoved first.
